I seem to remember that there was a software switch that had to be flipped in the FX2 in order to power up the IR receiver. And I think that detail was missed in the early driver versions which supported the HVR-1950. Since 2.6.26 was IIRC the first kernel to have that support then odds are good that the IR isn't going to work with the in-kernel driver. However as you have guessed, you should be able to try the latest standalone driver with that kernel. I still at least test-compile the standalone driver all the way back to 2.6.12 before each new release. One thing that makes the standalone driver sources larger is that it includes a lot of code to permit correct operation with those older kernels. (If you want to see all the permutations, have a look at pvrusb2-options.h in the standalone driver.) And by the way, NONE of the pvrusb2-loaded firmware images have anything at all to do with IR. -Mike -- Mike Isely isely @ isely (dot) net PGP: 03 54 43 4D 75 E5 CC 92 71 16 01 E2 B5 F5 C1 E8 _______________________________________________ pvrusb2 mailing list [email protected] http://www.isely.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pvrusb2
